A Flower Falls, Even Though We Love

When You Find Your Place Where You Are, Practice Occurs, Actualizing The Fundamental Point.

When A Buddha Is Painted, Not Only A Clay Altar Or Lump Of Earth Is Used, But The Thirty-two Marks, A Blade Of Grass, And The Cultivation Of Wisdom For Incalculable Eons Are Used. As A Buddha Has Been Painted On A Single Scroll In This Way, All Buddhas Are Painted Buddhas, And All Painted Buddhas Are Actual Buddhas.

Students Of The Way Must Not Study Buddhism For The Sake Of Themselves. They Must Study Buddhism Only For The Sake Of Buddhism. The Key To This Is To Renounce Both Body And Mind Without Holding Anything Back And To Offer Them To The Great Sea Of Buddhism.

Mountains And Rivers At This Very Moment Are The Actualization Of The World Of The Ancient Buddhas. Each, Abiding In Its Phenomenal Expression, Realizes Completeness.

A Flower Falls, Even Though We Love It; And A Weed Grows, Even Though We Do Not Love It.
